We recommend: Queen In Hyun’s Man

When Joseon nobleman Kim Bong Do (played by Ji Hyun Woo) receives a mysterious talisman as a gift he has no idea how completely his life will change.  That night a masked stranger attempts to murder him, but instead of dying Bong Do is magically transported to another world…modern South Korea.  While lost in a new world, he meets a quirky and beautiful actress (played by Yoo In Na) whose charms both disarm and attract him.  With her help, maybe he can solve the mystery of the masked murderer and save the life of his Queen — while still finding time to sneak kisses behind the library bookstacks.

We recommend: She Was Pretty

Also starring the amazing Park Seo Joon, “She Was Pretty” tells the quirky and fun story of a woman who was beautiful growing up but became ugly as an adult.  Park Seo Joon and Hwang Jung Eum star as two close childhood friends, one a beautiful girl and the other a chubby, awkward boy, who were seperated by circumstance.   Years later, they meet again only to have changed so much that he can’t recognize her and she is too intimidated to acknowledge him.   However, fate is obstinate in their case, and they end up working side-by-side at a magazine publication office.  Will Park Seo Joon ever recognize that his best friend is the woman beside him?
